Effects of Replacing Inorganic with Organic Glycinates Trace Minerals on Growth Performance, Gut Function, and Minerals Loss of Juvenile Nile Tilapia

This study aimed to investigate the effects of replacing inorganic trace minerals (ITM) with organic trace minerals (OTM) on growth performance, body composition, gut histomorphometry, digestive enzyme activity, apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC), and mineral balance in juvenile Nile tilapia,...

description This study aimed to investigate the effects of replacing inorganic trace minerals (ITM) with organic trace minerals (OTM) on growth performance, body composition, gut histomorphometry, digestive enzyme activity, apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC), and mineral balance in juvenile Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Fish (n = 432; 2.5 ± 0.5 g) were randomly distributed into four groups with four replicates each (27 fish per replicate). A control diet (gross 15.2 MJ gross energy kg−1; 367.3 g crude protein kg−1) was elaborated to meet the dietary requirements of zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu) using ITM in the sulfate form (ITM100). From the control diet, three diets were elaborated using OTM to supply 100% (OTM100), 75% (OTM75), and 50% (OTM50) of Zn, Mn, and Cu ITM of the control diet, respectively, supplied in the glycinate form. Fish were hand-fed six times daily for 8 weeks. Growth performance was not changed by dietary treatments. Fish fed on the diet OTM50 showed higher whole-body and vertebrae ash contents and higher whole-body calcium (Ca), Zn, and iron (Fe) retention than those fed on the control diet. The activity of digestive enzymes and the ADC of energy and nutrients, including Zn, Mn, and Cu, were similar in fish fed on diets OTM50 and ITM100. A reduction in Zn (−39.8%), Mn (−11.1%), and Cu (−14.0%) loss was observed in fish fed on the diet OTM50 than in fish fed diet ITM100. The dietary treatments did not affect the gut histomorphometry. In conclusion, the inclusion of OTM in Nile tilapia’s diets represents a promising strategy to reduce 50% of ITM sources by utilizing Zn, Mn, and Cu OTM as glycinates without detrimental effects on growth performance, nutrient utilization, and gut function. These results additionally reinforce the environmental benefits of using OTM for precise mineral nutrition in aquaculture.
